She was raised as a weapon. He was born into a war that made him a monster. Selene Ravenfell crosses into Ashveil with a peace treaty in her hand and her father's orders hidden in her bag. Kael Ashgrave, the Alpha who has bled her pack for twelve years, should kill her on sight. Instead, the moment she touches his land, the mate bond ignites, and the most feared Alpha in the north cannot finish the job. When he catches her spying, he does not punish her. He offers a deal. Betray your father, or die. But the bond between them was not made by the Moon Goddess alone, and someone has been feeding on it from the shadows. Some bonds are fate. Some are chosen. And some are a trap.
